- During Rest Days, Niños de Guatemala will lead the group on a two-day Lake Atitlán Tour to discover the beautiful nature and the history of the ancient Mayan community. Volunteers will visit the remainders of the last capital of the Kakchiquel kingdom at Iximche; take in the overwhelming sights and relax alongside Lake Atitlán; and experience Mayan culture by visiting four very distinct Mayan villages found on the banks of the lake. Many visitors regard Lake Atitlán as the most beautiful lake they have ever seen, or possibly even the most beautiful site all together.
